I encountered the same issue when I dropped the transmission a while back. Jack was limiting factor on the lift - stands had plenty of room. Since I was only doing the Z1 CSCEK I was able to just slide the trans back down the tunnel a bit for enough room to work. I have decided I'll get another jack so I can remove it completely when I do the full clutch replacement.

I got the Torque Solution from Joe for transmission mount and CJM engine mounts. TBD on the engine mount install. I'll have enough stuff out like you I think I might be able to do with with just a hoist. But I'm planning to have a shop tear open the engine anyway for galley gaskets and oil pump gears, so I'm thinking it may be easiest to do them then.

I have a 5" jack extension on the way. I think it will be just enough. If not I think i can lower the rear of the car and pivot the front up another couple inches. Might be just enough to sneak it out.

I'm still chatting with Joe via email. In the middle of engine mount chat now. The Torque Solutions trans mount is on sale, $30 less than the Z1 and I can probably get most of it shipped together.

What are you jacking off of?

to lift the car or to lift the engine if i do the mounts? for the car I'm just using the diff in the rear and that plate with the bump right behind the undertray. That tray is off the car right now but it's only 6 or 8 bolts to slap it back on.

I'll get more pics of the mounts this weekend.

I know in the rear; I’d always go to that point where the 3bolts & arms come together....just behind diff.
I have a special cut block that would fit right between FI exhaust & really worked well....about the the same spot up front.
Seems there was a dimple or slightly bulged place right near the center I used

Yea. There is a bump on the plate right behind the front splash shield. I have some low profile ramps I need to get the jack to it. Neither car is high enough to get my jack under the front without them.

I have that plate out right now but it's only 6 or 8 bolts. The extension post I ordered for the floor jack won't be here for a couple weeks so in going to snag a couple chunks of 4x4 off the job site and see if I can raise it enough with that. From what I'm seeing I need about 30" or so to roll the trans out on my jack and only have 24 ish right now

The Z is one of the cars that I have the most displeasure of jacking up.

So something like the coolworx shifter is just out of my budget. But the zspeed is as long as no one tells the mrs I didn't need it

Got the trans out from under the car and cleaned up over the weekend. rjm pedal should be here today. I have 1 more question off to Joe. Once I hear back from him the order will be placed. With any luck it should be off the stands in 2-3 weeks

I'm too old to wrestle it out without one. It's a little janky but it's getting the job done.

Me too. Used to lay on my back and press cast iron case BW T10's and Hemi 4 speeds into place. That ain't happening anymore. The aluminum case Super T10's and the M21 and M22's wasn't bad.
